I think you made the right decisions with your situation. Obviously it would have been better to avoid getting pregnant at all, but it turned out almost as well as it could have in that situation. Though you did consider the abortion, and got right on the edge of doing it, your mind was changed before you could, and I always take that as a sign that you were probably not confident in the abortion option from the start. Going through with the adoption even after the marriage drama happened, as well as choosing the parent that wanted the baby.
At first you considered the adoption very heavily, and even got as far as signing the documentation before realizing it was not what you wanted to do. I believe that if you are willing to stop, then you are not 100% certain you want the abortion, and you should probably not have it at all. and by not aborting the baby, but not having to keep it, you made the best decision you could have there in your situation.
Even after the adoptive parents split, you still wanted to give the child to the one who wanted it more than anything else, so you don’t have to ruin your life, and another person is happier than ever before. You and Paulie recognized that you were not ready at all to be parents, so you didn’t want to keep it, and you already decided against getting an abortion, so it was the choice that made the most sense.
If it were me in that situation, I would almost certainly get the abortion, my parents are great but they would murder me if they knew this had happened. but yours were chill about it and it turned out for the best in the end.
